wow you guys are lucky.

If Vlade Divac wasnt on the Kings I probly wouldnt be a fan of this team and a member of these forums .. Ive never been to California, but I was veryyy tempted to fly there for this game, anyways .. have fun, I look forward to watching the game on TV, I just hope they show the game on league pass from the Kings broadcast team.

Wow, you're WAY down there Rock! I wish I could go but I already had plans, but set my Tivo for sure! I'll be at the game against 'that team' next Tuesday with my fiancé, so looking forward to that, so I can give Kobe all the hell I can!:D

My friend bought the tickets off craigslist about a month a go for a really good price so we grab them before the seller could change his mind.

In honor of Vlade returning to see his jersey retired, I've gone into the VF21 vault and retrieved the avatar I used for a very long time. I'll be keeping it until March 31, 2009 when it will return to the vault - much like one of Disney's classic films.

Love that avatar!

I'm just about ready to walk out the door, with enough Kleenex to last a lifetime - or at least hopefully through the half-time ceremony.

What a great day to be a Kings fan!

I thought halftime was great. I really do miss what Vlade did for this team. Anyone else notice J-Will wasn't there tonight either?

Biggest honor a professional athlete can have, bigger than HOF (in my opinion). Very deserving for a great player and a great person that has really done good and put his money where his mouth is. Hopefully CWebb and Vlade can both be a part of the organization one day.

GM CWebb anyone? :p

Hi everybody,

Good to see old members active. :) I became Kings fan because of Vlade, but I stayed because of passing style I adore.

Next one "jersey" I would retire is of old man who brought that great offense.

NBA TV cut live to cover the ceremony. It was very nicely done. I even shed a tear or two over some of the nice things that were said about Vlade here in Indianapolis.

After NBA TV cut back to Gary Payton and Amahd, GP was trying to point out how big of a presence Vlade was to have his jersey retired after only 6 years in Sacramento.

It's pretty easy to root for guys like that.

It was unbelievable. I laughed, I cried, I cheered until my voice was gone, and applauded until my hands were numb. And as much as it was clear the fans love Vlade, it was equally as clear that he loves us right back...
